Way too early NBA draft thread 2021

[Pax for Prez]

Hey dudes, If anyone wants to stay up to date on the draft whilst on their morning commute I just started an NBA Draft Podcast. This week we broke down the G-League Ignite dudes.

Corey, good listen. It will be interesting to see if PG D. Nix squeaks his way into the 1st rd.

Thanks for listening. Definitely think Nix will be a first rounder, but we'll see how the rest of the bubble goes for him.

How would a Kuminga and Williams front court look like?

I think I'd have to ask my Doctor for a Prescription for Nitroglycerine tablets...the excitement might be too much for my heart.

We are missing someone like Scottie Barnes. Not great shooter and scorer but two way player, point forward, plus defender, athlethic. Williams and Barnes could became Anonuby & Siakam 2.0. Those kind of players makes impact on w collumn.

Don’t seem to be many big men at the top of this draft, but lots of PG types. Hope we can land one. f seems to becoming less important to have a star like center.

Kuminga still looking good.

Seems like there are 4 genuinely exciting prospects this year.

only 4 not 5 ?

C. Cunningham - Okl St.
J. Kuminga - USA
J. Suggs - Gonzaga
E. Mobley - USC
J. Green - USA

[Kukoc-Lauri]

Skilled big man/centers are still very important. Just ask Embiid,Jokic,A.Davis,Gobert,Sabonis.

I don't think Green is that caliber. He's in the next tier with some others.

Ok, I can see that. I still think he ends up Top 5 but he will be interesting to watch.

None of those guys are probably going to win a championship except Davis because he plays with Lebron. He couldn’t win anything in New Orleans. Bigs are important to an extent, but you are not winning with championships without offensive stars on the perimeter.

yeah Lebron was very successfull in his first year in La playing without Davis. Raptors thought similar about Ibaka and Marc Gasol and they folded without them. Jokic was in western finals and beat two of the best perimeter wings Kawhi and Pg in semi finals. Lakers won because of Davis,Howard,Mcgee rotations on center position. Gsw could play they style because of Bogut,Durant,Mcgee. With only Steph,Klay and Green as main interior force they wouldnt won anything same as Raptors with Marc and Serge. Balanced team is key. You can defintevly won championship with center as your best player even in this three point heavy league.

When is the last a team won with a center as their best player? Of course they are important, but you don’t need a star there.

How many titles did AD win without Lebron? How many Conference Finals appearances? On the other hand, Lebron has won titles with replacement-level players at the 5.

I love me some Ayo as an Illini fan. I can see some shai gilgeous type player if used right.

Kuminga is becoming my top prospect. He's legitimately 6'8 and a truly elite athlete. Defends, passes, scores in the post. Fairly advanced ball handling given his size. He's shot needs work but I like the form. Strong vibes of Paul George there.
